When an ancient skeleton is discovered in Israel, will it shed new light on the life of Jesus or plunge the world into chaos?
Jonathan Weber was at the helm of an action-packed archaeological dig in "A Skeleton in God's Closet." Now, in "More Than a Skeleton," Dr. Weber plays an integral part in the investigation of what is either a most convincing, dangerous hoax or the return of Christ. When Joshua Ben-Yosef, an Israeli from Galilee-born in Nazareth to parents Mary and Joseph-begins assembling twelve followers, attracting crowds, and performing miracles, the world takes notice. Could Dr. Melvin Merton-well-known leader and author of end times books-have been correct about the imminent return of Christ? It seems everyone is a believer in this "Messiah"-including Jon's wife, Shannon-especially when Joshua performs the "ultimate sign" by raising his disciple from the dead. Plagued by skepticism, Jon may be the only one who can intervene before the very foundations of the Christian faith are shattered.
A few pieces of centuries-old parchment tucked inside a tattered book lead an archaeologist and his wife to what could possibly be the greatest find in church history-- if it isn't the most sophisticated forgery of all time.
